Note: Some of the older posts you’ll find here were brought in from my previous travel blog – 100 Miles Highway. You may occasionally find images with its name – which means that this is the only version I have led after a very unfortunate laptop breakdown a few years ago.

Hi Kate,
I agree with the comments about the look of your blog, I just started mine. I am using the free word press version to see how I manage that, I am a bit of a technophobe. Can you recommend the web designer/host you use? It really is a beautiful site, so simple and uncluttered and your posts are so easy to read and enjoyable.

Hi! Please be aware that I do not accept comments with links to personal blogs (your name will already link to it), so any future comment with a link in it will land in spam.
If you have any questions regarding my blog / design / anything, really! please drop me an email. Thanks!

Hi Kate. New to blogging, travel, and photography. Your blog is so well put together and your stories are hard to stop reading.I’ve been browsing your page for about 30 minutes now and loving all of it! You’re an inspiring blogger, and just person in general, I must say.

I stumbled upon your blog this morning, and I could not stop reading! I am just starting a blog of my own, and have spent countless hours researching and reading other people’s blogs, and yours was the first that actually made me stop and want to look at every single page. As Traveling Light mentioned above, I love the clean, uncluttered look of your pages. You truly are an inspiration to new bloggers such as myself.
I look forward to reading about more of your adventures in 2015.

Kate, I like the clean, uncluttered look and feel of your website and blog – it is restful. As a fellow traveler and adventurer, but not as frequently as you at this point in my life, I love your tidbits on where you are. I appreciate the books you share with us and why you liked them or what they meant to you. Also your thoughts and musings on your lifestyle and health are motivations for me. What’s not to like about hearing the wisdom of others around the world in Mantra. Keep up the good work. I choose to follow your blog and I don’t often do that.
